Definitions
- the invention generally relates to a method and/or device for layer thickness determination.
- the layer thickness is determined by way of a metallographic examination.
- a wire specimen is introduced into the coating process at a location which is representative of a component which is to be coated. After the coating process has ended, the wire specimen is removed and is then, expensively, cut open and examined. Each coating process is monitored and documented by the use of concomitant working specimens. These measuring and testing methods do not allow coating processes which are not to spec to be corrected as they are ongoing. Therefore, this is a very expensive form of quality assurance.
- An object may be achieved by a method or device in which a sensor is exposed to the coating process in the same way as the component which is to be treated, and an electrical property of this sensor is measured. This property changes as a result of the coating process, so that in situ layer thickness determination during the coating process is possible.
- the method is suitable in particular for alitizing processes in which aluminum is introduced into a component (refurbishment).
- the electrical resistance is preferably used as a simple electrical measurement variable which is representative of the coating result.
- the sensor is, for example, a sintered body, since a sintered body can take up the applied coating material in a representative way (accumulation and diffusion rate).
- a sintered body can take up the applied coating material in a representative way (accumulation and diffusion rate).
- it may be, for example, also porous or, for example, made from the material of the component which is to be coated or from MCrAlY.
- the method and/or device is particularly suitable for coating processes in the interior of a component, since these are not readily accessible.
- FIG. 1 shows a component with a sensor, which component is coated, with the method according to an embodiment of the invention being used for layer thickness determination, and
- FIG. 2 shows a measuring arrangement having a sensor for the method according to an embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a hollow component 1 which is to be coated, for example, on an inner surface 4 .
- the method can also be used for the in situ layer thickness determination of external surfaces.
- a layer 7 of the material M is applied to the inner surface 4 by means of known processes, such as for example CVD (chemical vapor deposition) processes, electrochemical processes or other known coating processes.
- a sensor 10 is arranged in the cavity 19 of the component 1 and is therefore coated in the same way as the component 1 which is to be treated.
- FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of the sensor 10 .
- the sensor 10 consists of a material which has an electrical property, such as for example its electrical resistance, impedance, capacitance or the like, which changes as a result of some form of interaction with the material M which forms the layer.
- the sensor 10 may be of any desired shape, i.e. may, for example, be a piece of wire or in the shape of a small plate.
- the sensor 10 is connected to an electrical measuring unit 16 via electrical lines 13 ; the measuring unit measures the electrical parameter which changes as a result of the sensor 10 being coated with the material M.
- the way in which the layer thickness is dependent on the electrical variable is known from calibration curves determined in preliminary tests.
